A bit of auspol, birds, animals and I like when others tell jokes.
Howard started the rot in Oz.
I despise RWNJs and, whilst an atheist, had quite a lot of people of faith in my 'like' group 'over there'.

82 seconds of Nigel Farage refusing to deny if he ever racially abused classmates.
He was a racist then and he’s a racist now. He shouldn’t be anywhere near power.
He was a racist then and he’s a racist now. He shouldn’t be anywhere near power.
![Quote from Guardian article by Peter Ettedgui:
"[Farage] would sidle up to me and growl: ‘Hitler was right' or 'gas them', sometimes adding a long hiss to simulate the sound of the gas showers [...] I'd never experienced antisemitism growing up, so the first time that this vicious verbal abuse came out of Farage's mouth was deeply shocking. But I wasn't his only target. I'd hear him calling other students ‘Paki' or 'Wog', and urging them to 'go home'. I tried to ignore him, but it was humiliating. It was shaming. This kind of abuse cuts through to the core of your identity."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xvmfn4sqxoxa5qjovw5tcehg/bafkreifxbqlortxolyp2jmm2ldtnulohon6zh7tvcajttjxuq4j6qzdema@jpeg)

Great comment, Shields was/is a complete doofus.
No, doofus connotes goofiness, Bevan was an arsehole who trashed a venerable masthead, at the behest of the Board of course.

YOU, A FOOL, A VACUOUS BUFFOON: Shields stepping down is an opportunity to reflect on his deeply divisive stewardship of a storied masthead at a perhaps fatal moment in Australian media history.

Labour is now the only Opposition party who has not put out an official press release denouncing the NZ government’s restrictions to healthcare access for trans youth and affirming their strong support for the trans, takatāpui and rainbow communities.

A beautiful sky at Bald Hill Beach late yesterday - and notice all the little shorebirds? That's why I go there. A mixture of species in this shot. Tiny little dots at a distance but great to watch. Photos of those to come later.

Now that would’ve definitely grabbed the evening news for a few nights, right?
And if it had been Diet Coke, we’d be talking about a cosmic catastrophe!

In Tesco’s this afternoon: an elderly Polish man at the self-checkout, trying to buy a pint of milk and a white radish. There is no picture for the radish on the machine. The assistant doesn’t know what it is. She asks a colleague: “It’s a white radish.” There is no entry for it on the machine.
